Attempted Skinny Loach rescue

[strollo22]

So I picked up 2 loaches that appeat to have "skinny disease". Got them for 3 dollars each and they are in a 5 gallon quarantine tank.

I'd put my money on something internal. If they eat i'd try a pellet soaked in prazi-pro and a little krill spray to hide the taste of the med. Copper is gonna be a little risky, maybe halfdose paraguard.

I had para guard already already so I put a tablet in last night. They didn't eat last night when I put blood worms and shrimp in but they ate blood worms this morning.

They're eating like normal, I just fed them shrimp soaked with vitachem. I'm going to use the paraguard for a few days and see if they start gaining weight. I fed 3 times today and they ate everything each time.

You need levamisole hydrochloride

Probably won't find levamisole in the U.S. I had a few that looked the same way but had no orange anymore. They weren't faded like they do, they were silver and black. I used General Cure after some research because the 2 ingredients hit the problem at different angles. I dosed them like suggested, and had some left over so I dosed them a little more than a half dose once again. 2 years later they're fat, dumb and happy. I was REAL skeptical about General Cure but it worked like a charm. 15 bux really well spent. - N

Thanks for the info nereus. They're eating well so I guess that's a plus. I'll just monitor them for a few days and go from there.

Thanks for the info. I will have to file that away for future reference.
